The chain launched in 1998 by Singapore business woman Christina Ong has 15 oh-so exclusive gems to its name. From London to Miami Beach, Perth to Bangkok, and from the Maldives to the valleys of Bhutan, these resorts all have one thing in common: staying there is an experience in itself, one combining wellness, gastronomy and design. The COMO Castello Del Nero in Tuscany is no exception. This 740-acre estate comprises 50 rooms and suites, many of which afford views over the surrounding countryside and the Chianti vines. The historic terracotta floors of the 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century ch\u00e2teau, the walls decorated with frescoes and the vaulted ceilings are all still intact, embellished by a light-toned contemporary aesthetic created by Milan-born interior designer Paola Navone. COMO has ensured that the modifications made to the ch\u00e2teau were approved by the Italian Fine Art Commission in order to preserve the property\u2019s authenticity. And the result is clear in the perfectly preserved historic details and period features.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-99383 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/como-the-tuscan-dream\/attachment\/como-castello-del-nero-assiette-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/como-castello-del-nero-assiette-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/como-castello-del-nero-assiette-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/como-castello-del-nero-assiette-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/como-the-tuscan-dream\/attachment\/chef-in-the-herb-garden-copie-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Chef-in-the-Herb-Garden-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Chef-in-the-Herb-Garden-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Chef-in-the-Herb-Garden-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Truffle hunting and cooking classes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hotel has three high calibre restaurants including La Torre (Michelin-starred) which serves elegant Italian cuisine made from the finest Tuscan products.
